?Chapter 651: Chapter 278: Protection of the Yan Family’s Ancestor Chapter 651: Chapter 278: Protection of the Yan Family’s Ancestor “How is the Ling Yin Flawless Sword I forged for you holding up?”
Qi Yan looked at Lin Jing and asked.
After speaking, Qi Yan wore a self-satisfied expression:
“That Ling Yin Flawless Sword can be considered the pinnacle of my current forging skills, a supreme grade Dao Artifact.
Throughout the entire Southern Outer Seas, I fear no one else but myself could craft it.”
Seeing Qi Yan’s face exude pride and self-satisfaction, Lin Jing was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond.
It wasn’t exactly feasible for him to tell Qi Yan that the Ling Yin Flawless Sword had already been destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation.
It wasn’t until Qi Yan finished speaking and looked towards Lin Jing that Lin Jing quickly spoke up:
“Um…”
“It’s…
it’s very useful, quite effective indeed.”
Since the Ling Yin Flawless Sword was destroyed by the Tribulation Lightning, Lin Jing dared not reveal the truth.
Seeing Qi Yan as he was, if he were to find out that the Ling Yin Flawless Sword had shattered, he would likely be dumbfounded.
And continuously inquire about the reasons.
After all, a supreme grade Dao Artifact had suddenly shattered, which was hard to justify.
And Lin Jing did not want to reveal too much, so he could only conceal the truth for the time being.
However,
fortunately, Qi Yan did not continue to inquire, which really relieved Lin Jing.
Afterward, the three of them chatted idly.
After a long while, just as the trade fair was about to start, another person entered, also a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
This person looked around after arriving.
When his gaze landed on Lin Jing, he paused momentarily, then quickly swept to other areas.
This odd behavior naturally caught Lin Jing’s attention.
Lin Jing turned around for a look but discovered that he did not know this person.
Lin Jing was puzzled for a moment, then turned his attention back.
Just when Lin Jing turned his head, he saw Lord Ye Lin also slightly frowning and turning to look at that cultivator.
From that new Nascent Soul Cultivator’s gaze, Lin Jing and Lord Ye Lin were directly in line.
“Perhaps he has seen Lord Ye Lin before, which is why he looked this way,” Lin Jing thought to himself, then felt reassured.
Lord Ye Lin also saw Lin Jing and nodded at him in greeting.
Lin Jing also nodded lightly, acknowledging the greeting.
Both tactfully remained silent.
The unfamiliar Nascent Soul Cultivator, after scanning the area, did not approach Lord Ye Lin but instead walked towards an inconspicuous corner.
Seeing this, Lin Jing no longer paid attention but turned his head and continued talking with Yan Ming and Qi Yan.
After a while, several Divine Transformation Cultivators participating in this trade fair descended from the ninth floor.
The person leading was an old man in white clothes.
This elder appeared calm, his aura hidden, and his demeanor was tranquil and unassuming, much like a wise elder who had seen through the vicissitudes of life.
?????.??
Behind the elder were four others.
Among these four, Lin Jing had only met the island master of True Dragon Island; he did not recognize the others.
After the elder descended from the upstairs, he directly walked towards Lin Jing.
At this moment, Yan Ming spoke up, reminding Lin Jing:
“This is the ancestor.”
As the Yan Family ancestor approached, Yan Ming quickly bowed his hands:
“Ancestor!”
Lin Jing and Qi Yan also bowed their hands in unison:
“Elder Yan!”
“Elder Yan!”
The Yan Family ancestor nodded, then looked at Lin Jing and with a smile, said:
“I presume you must be Lin Jing?”
Lin Jing nodded and bowed:
“Yes, elder.”
The Yan Family ancestor spoke in a tone as serene as an elder of a mortal family would continue:
“Yue’er and Xing’er often mention you, so much so that my ears are almost calloused.”
“Now it appears, you truly are extraordinary.”
“So young yet with such cultivation, and also a Fifth Grade Alchemist, which is even more remarkable.”
“Elder flatters me,” Lin Jing said modestly.
The Yan Family ancestor continued:
“Thank you for the Cleansing Spirit Elixir before.”
“If you ever encounter any trouble, feel free to come to Spirit Rock Island.
I still have some influence in the Southern Outer Sea.”
What the Yan Family ancestor meant by saying this was to offer his protection.
The conversation, especially the last statement, was deliberately loud, obviously for others to hear.
With this move by the Yan Family ancestor, others glanced sideways, and the other four Divine Transformation Cultivators also looked over.
Among them was an older man, pockmarked, hunchbacked, and with bent posture, who chuckled and then spoke:
“Heh heh…”
“I say, Elder Yan, aren’t you trying to entice this talented alchemist to join the Yan Family and become an exclusive Pill Master for your family?”
The old man’s voice was hoarse, especially when he laughed, it was even more chilling.
After hearing this, the Yan Family ancestor turned back to the old man and said:
“I say Old Toad, can you not project your own ways onto others.”
“My Yan Family has always been clear about gratitude and grievances.
Have we ever mistreated anyone who has helped our family?”
“If I indeed need his help for alchemy, I will state it clearly, not resorting to any schemes, and if he is unwilling, I certainly will not force him.”
“Besides, this young man has done a great favor for my Yan Family.
We naturally will protect him from being bullied by others.”
“Even if it’s you, if you have any ideas against him, I will not hesitate to step in and give you a beating.”
